Bruna Giacosa simply describes 2023 as ‘not the easiest year’, pointing above all to the late summer heat that persisted well into September – the estate harvested its Asili vineyards at the end of the month. A beautiful, bright deep ruby introduces this youthfully reticent edition. Still very primary in its mix of plum, rhubarb and wild strawberry, an explosion of florals washes over the palate with white blossoms, rose and violet. There's just a mere suggestion of earthier, mineral depths at the moment. Fine, light tannins are intricately stitched, and luscious yellow plum and cinnamon grace the finish. While undeniably tantalising now, this should have more profundities to share in a few years.
